Breakside Brewery releases new hazy IPA "Coming Out Party"

Portland and Milwaukie, Oregon-based Breakside Brewery, has announced the release of new hazy IPA called Coming Out Party with New Zealand flavors and the return of New England-style IPA What Rough Beast. Coming Out Party is a softer but heavier hazy IPA with New Zealand hops and What Rough Beast is a beer of clean malt character and more balanced NW bitterness.More from a press release:What Rough Beast garners its name from Yeats's famous poem "The Second Coming" whose poetic "beast" was thought to either represent havoc or rebirth. The brew will delight those from either camp: it’s a straightforward crowd pleaser for those who love the hazies. Heavy on fan favorite hops like Citra and Mosaic, the beer is very light in color but has a rich, soft body and huge juicy and tropical notes. ABV: 6.8 / IBU: 55Coming Out Party takes the brewery's exploration of the world of hazy IPAs even further afield and prominently features the Taiheke hop, a New Zealand-grown version of Cascade. What originally began as a collaboration with Comrade Brewing in Denver, this beer has become a high-octane hazy that hits hard with tropical, dank and citrus-heavy hops. It has an intense lemon-lime character alongside big notes of passionfruit and mango garnered from judicious additions of Mosaic and Vics Secret hops. Extremely limited! ABV: 7.8% / IBU: 92Ben Edmunds, brewmaster for Breakside, said, "Whereas What Rough Beast promises to please even the most curmudgeonly critic of these newfangled hazy IPAs, Coming Out Party is more adventurous and boundary-pushing. Leaning heavily on Southern Hemisphere-grown hops gives this new beer a hard-to-describe juicy fruit and 'sea breeze' quality that can't be replicated with American-grown hops alone. Try them both to see just how poetic the hazy IPA category can really be!"Both beers will be available on draft and in 22-ounce bottles wherever Breakside is sold. About Breakside BreweryBreakside Brewery opened in 2010 in Northeast Portland as a restaurant and pub brewery.
